Thank you

I would have had the answer sooner, but I was looking for "Dukenfeld," not "Dukenfield."

Wed Dec 25, 2024: On this day, December 25, 1946, William Claude Dukenfield, aka W. C. Fields, died.

You get two guesses and the first one doesn't count.

I must say, Eli-Lily should do some more testing because it doesn't seem to have much effect on the Great Orange Whale.

No answer to the question of who it is.

None of trump's doctor's reports indicate sleep apnea. If trump does not use a CPAP machine properly, that could explain late night posts and falling asleep in meetings.

Or accurate information about pedo. And if he wanted to try it, his yesmen medical team would say anything to get it.

But, I can see where such a powerful drug fat buster could make dementia worse fast. The brain’s mostly fat.

Sub-cue injections not IV? Does Trumpy have fear of needles?

Even if he does have a fear of needles, I'm quite sure he's been exposed to them a lot this past year. Being he has to appear in public frequently, an IV for such medication could be very inconvenient, not to mention his overblown vanity.

But I didn't know about this new drug.

Somehow this just came to mind, from Carter era:

—On flight back from int'l conference, then-SecState Cyrus Vance gave reporters "background" briefing, for attrib only to "a senior gov official."

—NYT ran story next day

—Alongside story was photo of Vance, w caption saying "a senior gov official"

Secretive drug trials on perceived individuals of low value has long been part of US policy.

I mean GLP-1's are out there, and apparently very effective.

But as I understand, they just suppress appetite. If a guy wants to guzzle hamberders, he can.

Knowing what we do about the man, I would assume that he would have opted for GLP-1 if his doctors were to permit it. Perhaps we need to look to the side effects for GLP-1 and compare them to what we've witnessed with Trump.

heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, slow gastric emptying etc

I can buy a bottle of caffeine pills for $5.

From Google AI:
Retatrutide is an experimental, once-weekly injectable medication developed by Eli Lilly that is currently in late-stage clinical trials. It functions as a "triple-agonist," targeting three different hormone receptors (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon) to suppress appetite, regulate blood sugar, and increase energy expenditure

So they're probably trying this after a GLP-1 has failed.

That could explain the periodic boosts in energy and mild coherence, especially when he can't avoid public appearances.

is slow gastric emptying and it can be permanent. People with digestive issues like colitis etc. are not supposed to take them.

He's 64. Unlike Trump, he's also an alcoholic. He needs a hip replacement, but his doctor won't do the surgery until he loses 50 lbs. He and his wife took Wegovy.
VShe liked it because she got down to her goal weight. He didn't like it because it reduced his appetite for food AND alcohol, and those were 2 of the 3 pleasures he still had in life (the other being hunting). I've stayed in touch with his daughter and she fully expects him to be dead soon.

Considering Trump is such a big baby, I doubt he would be happy taking something that took away his appetite. What pleasures does he have other than eating like a skinny teenager?

I lost a lost a lot of weight 4 years ago with no help, but couldn't shed that 20 pounds. My doc suggested the low dose zepbound mainly to supress certain hormones that he thought might be causing the plateau.

TBH, I could easily forget to eat if I didn't remind myself (and actually enjoy eating). I don't feel hunger, really, just that slightly empty feeling one gets just before feeling hungry. Seems to be working for me... But it is expensive!

and animal magnetism

heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, (oddly) constipation, nausea are some

that the patient is otherwise known as the mad king.

remember when he had covid and got everything under the sun. he should have died then. but it could be said he was well connected.

why doesn't anyone ever question if he's diabetic?

So why would a man who is not obese, according to his doctors, be in such desperate need as to qualify for "compassionate use."

Of course we know he is actually something like 320 with a BMI of 40, which is the clinical threshold for severe or morbid obesity. Guess that would qualify a "well-connected" man for compassionate use to treat life threatening obesity.

An unnamed 79-year-old man was reportedly granted special access to the drug retatrutide through a “compassionate use” program.

White House denies Trump applied for ‘compassionate use’ for weight loss drug.
